Marantz SA-14S1 or Vinvent CD-S7-DAC

Is the ability to play SACD's important to you, or are you just interested in redbook audio quality.

Remember, these are all opinions and your opinion is the most important. We all have our own preferences;>)

Actually i would like a player that does both SACD and Redbook, but it does not HAVE to play SACD .
I really do not have any SACD ,but do have some DVD-Audio that i play through an OPPO DV-981 HD.
The aspect that i really like about both is that they can be used as a DAC. I would like to find a great cd player that can be used as a DAC, which seems to be the trend these days
I like the inputs on the Marantz which give you Toslink Coaxial and USB Asynchronous and regular USB. I'll wait to hear what you are reviewing Mrtennis.
@Mrtennis
When will the review be posted ?

Even though I have the Marantz SA-15S2b and find it quite musical (it can and does lull me into reverie), the anticipation is killing me. :-)

All the best,

Mrtennis,
I would like to know your opinion on the comparison between the Marantz SA-14S1 and the Oppo BDP-105, if you got a chance to listen to CD/SACDs on both these players.

BTW, nice review on audiophilia.com.

Thanks!

I have an oppo 83se modified by dan wright. I have not heard the 105. the "mystery" SACD player should be up on the audiophilia web site soon. I sent the review to my editor.

my review of the mystery SACD player, the TEAC CD-3000, is up on the web site audiophilia.com .
